Emerald Isle Beach Ring Lost From Tent Found

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Chris contacted me yesterday evening stating that he had removed his wedding ring to swim along the Crystal Coast.  He placed the ring in the pocket of a tent they had set up for the day.  While packing up to leave, the tent was shaken to remove the clinging sand.  It was just a short while later Chris noticed the ring had gone missing.  Just after getting Chris’s message I called and explained I would head that way very soon.  We arrived at the beach and the search began in the darkness.  It was only a few minutes and a constant tone rang up on my metal detector.  The ring was quickly returned!  I forgot to take a picture of Chris with his ring and requested a picture the next day which he quickly obliged.

Unique Platinum Wedding Band Lost at Santa Monica Beach, CA…Found and Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

I received a call this morning about 9:00 AM, from a gentleman (who asks not to be identified) who lost his wedding ring earlier in the morning at the beach in Santa Monica. We discussed if he could be there to show me what happened, and he said he could, but that he had to leave to board a plane at 11:00 AM. I said I would leave immediately, and got to the area at about 10:30 AM, traffic being somewhat of a bear.

When he arrived, he showed me the spot he believed the loss to have occurred. He also said the ring had a unique identifier, a tiny ruby that was inserted in to the inner part of the band, that could not be seen unless the band was removed. I got to searching, and had his ring in my scoop by 10:15 AM, with plenty of time left for him to go to the airport. He was very happy, and surprised that I was able to find it so quickly. It really helps us to help our clients if they are able to remember how and where the loss occurs. Glad to have made his day!

Wedding Ring Lost at Torrance Beach, CA…Found and Happily Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Nii called me yesterday evening with an air of desperation in his voice, he had lost his wedding ring at the beach while throwing a football to his son. After scouring the sands for about 45 minutes, with a group of about 6 people, he was unable to find it. One of the group gave him The Ring Finders information, and he contacted me. We briefly discussed what had happened, and we were both close to the loss area, so we arranged to meet in about 30 minutes.

When I got there Nii took me to the area of the loss, and I could see a very meticulous grid pattern in the sand, so I knew they had searched long and hard for this lost ring. Nii then went on to show me exactly what had happened, which is very important for a Ring Finder to figure out where to begin a search. I began my search finding a few pieces of metal, a bottle cap, a piece of foil, and a few others, showing him each time what I had found. One pass, two, and then on the third pass, going a little outside of the area they had search got the signal I was looking for. I scooped, looked inside, and there was his wedding ring. I reached in, held it out (Nii was about 25 feet from me at this time), and I think he thought I was holding another piece of trash metal. I kept holding it out, and turned it so he could see the roundness, and the hole in the middle. All of a sudden the realization was there, I had found his ring, and what a smile and raised level of excitement. He was so surprised, and so happy. What a great thing to bring such a high level of joy to people!

Lost Wedding Band Vancouver, BC…Found

Rings get lost…It happens!

I was away in Europe when I got the phone call from Fran about her husband Dan’s lost ring. I told Fran I’d be back in a week and I would come out and find the ring for them, I forgot. I got the call yesterday to remind me about the ring in the garden and I apologized and met them the next day and found his lost wedding band of 25 years. Fran told me that the ring was made up from her old gold rings so that was very special indeed.

It was lost in the front garden and I found it with my Minelab CTX3030.

The wonderful thing about this couple is they grow flowers for charity in their backyard. How wonderful and thoughtful of them to do this and what a great way to give back! Dan put together a wonderful bouquet of flowers for my wife who wass very excited when I presented them to her when I got home…Thanks Dan & Fran!

Lost 14K, 1/2ct diamond earring at park. FOUND!

  • from Orange (California, United States)
Contact:

Anyssa texted me early in the moring, saying she had lost her diamond earring at a local park, and wondered if I could help. « I sure can » I replied and we arranged to meet about 10:00AM so she could show me the spot.

She had been wearing (2) 1/2ct diamond studs and (2) costume studs in each ear, but took them out, attached the backs and put them on their blanket. When they left, they forgot about them and when she got to the car, she remembered, but they were gone now. They searched in the grass and were able to find (1) diamond stud. That night, she came back with a friend and lights and tried to find the others but could not. She found me the next morning after googling lost jewelry.
Using my AT-Pro, I scanned the one she had thinking « Easy, just notch out everything else! », didn’t happen. The thing was so small and 14K gold, that it scanned erratic 21-65 and read 10+ inches deep when it was 1″ away from the coil. I tested it in the grass and it barely registered!  The grass was just mowed, but still long and very wet mushy soil. Even my Carrot would not register against it on the most sensitive setting, it just barely reacted depending on position of it, even touching it! Ok, all metal mode it is.

I searched about a half our and then found both of the costume earrings, but not the diamond one, so I had hope. I focused on the area around where the other two were found, and got a lot of trash, aluminum signals, coin signals but deep. I went back to the car and got my digger, and knew the earring couldn’t be deep but since it scanned incorrectly due to minimal metal on it, I had to investigate every signal. After an hour, I was having thoughts of getting my Surf PI because I knew it would pick it up, but everything else also.

In the area near where the other two were found, I had some foil and bottle cap signals in my way, so I decided to dig them up and get them out of the way so I could concentrate on the smallest erratic signals and try those. After digging out a rusty bottle cap at about 5″ deep, I buried the hole and scanned it again to be sure it was empty and then just on the edge of the hole I got an erratic signal and used my pinpointer to dig around and lo and behold, BINGO! Removing the bottle cap allowed me to hear the earring, otherwise I would have missed it.

I went to her and said « I think I am done, I just cant seem to get a good signal » and then said to her small daughter, « But I did find something for you! and told her to hold out her hand and I put the earring in her little hand and her mom glanced down and jumped for joy! « You found it! ».

Very nice lady and her daughter, and so happy I was able to return all three of her lost earrings!

Triple Ring Set Recovered!

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

I forgot to post this last September, but it’s an aweseome recovery story!  I was called out by a married couple who needed some help searching a sand bar for her lost ring set.  It consisted of three beautiful 14k rings from their engagement, wedding, and anniversary with many sparkly diamonds, and it was her pride and joy, in addition to their four wonderful children.  She was throwing a football in the water with some friends and noticed it gone.  She never  thought it would be recovered until they googled Ringfinders.  She, her husband, and  I searched for the better part of a day with no luck.   Then, I went out on my own for a full day, again with no  luck.  I ventured out a third time with my two friends,  Jeff and Brian, thinking three experienced detectorists would have better results.  I found the signal right about where she had searched with me the first time, and quickly texted a pic to her husband.  He drove to pick it up and bought the three of us some hot hamburgers and cold beer.    It was great to see his smile!  He didn’t tell his wife it had been found, but just laid it on the kitchen counter and snapped her picture when she saw it.   Nice of him to share it!   The Ringfinders make a lot of couples very happy to recover their treasured memories.  It’s more than just finding rings.

Soccer goalie’s wedding band recovered

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Last week I received a call from a woman whose husband lost his ring on a soccer field in a park on the far west side of town.  I trundled out early in the morning to avoid the kids, and searched one goal for about 30 minutes, then switched to the other end.   In about 10 minutes, I found it just outside the chalk marks.  It must have slipped off of his finger just when he leapt out to block.     I snapped a photo of it, but forgot to ask his wife to pose when she drove by to recover it for her groom.  Oh well!   Will remember next time.

Men’s art-carved wedding band found!

I received a call from Michelle a few weeks ago.  She and her husband, Chris, have only been married seven months and he already lost his ring!  The good news is he knew where it happened.  The bad news was it was 12 feet deep in the bottom of their friend’s swimming pond.   We coordinated a search for 5:30 last Wednesday, and my friend Brian P. arrived with two sets of diving gear.  I’m PADI Open Water certified, but don’t own any gear, so feel quite lucky that Brian is a much more experienced diver and he has a passion for recovering wedding rings.   We  searched for about 20 minutes and Brian found it with his Fisher 1280x, which can go down to 200 feet!  Soon, Michelle was smiling and driving the art-carved wedding band back to her groom.  It’s beautiful, with diamond inlays.  Nice!

14K Man’s Wedding Band Lost in Myrtle Beach, Found and Returned

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Hunter about 3pm about his lost wedding band which turned out to be in Matt Fry’s area. I told him that one of us would call him back shortly. I called Matt and gave him the information and he told me he had some things going on and to go ahead and take it, so I did. I called Hunter back and we agreed to meet at 7pm.

Hunter and I met in his front yard and he told me the story. Their family heirloom wedding rings, which had quite a story attached to them, belonged to his wife Michelle’s aunt who passed them on to Hunter and Michelle as a wedding present. Michelle and Hunter got married on July 6th of this year and Hunter’s ring was too small for his ring finger so he wore it on his pinky finger. At some point during the celebration of their wedding and partaking of adult beverages the ring fell off his finger and has been lost since. Hunter had contacted another metal detectorist, not associated with The Ring Finders, a week after the loss who was unable to find the ring. He told me I was the last resort because their lease was up at the end of the month and they were moving. As I got started in my search Hunter handed me Michelle’s ring which was smaller but an exact duplicate that I tested with my AT Pro and got a solid 53 on the meter. A 53 on this machine is exactly where a nickel would ring up as. About 45 minutes later and after finding a buried nickel I got a second solid nickel reading and dug down through the grass and dirt to about 2-3 inches and this time it was Hunter’s ring. I cleaned it off and walked up to Hunter who was sitting on the porch. I showed him the ring and he flew out of the chair and gave me the biggest bear hug I’ve ever had. I took the ring back to get some pictures while he ran inside to tell Michelle. She came outside in utter shock and more hugs. How can it possibly get any better than this other than Michelle told me she had just found out she’s pregnant with twins. Wow!!

Hunter offered me a very generous reward but I agreed to take a portion if they’d use the rest to buy their new twins something from me. They agreed. Very happy ending all the way around!!!

Hunter and Michelle thank you for trusting in me to find your lost treasure and the very best of luck to you in all your future endeavors. Good luck with the twins!

Michelle’s wearing Hunter’s ring on her first finger for the picture, right after the picture it came off and put away until they can get it sized.
